Three scientists win the Nobel Prize in Physics 2023
The three researchers were given the award in recognition of their “experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light to study electron dynamics in matter,” the jury said.
Frenchman Pierre Agostini, Austro-Hungarian Ferenc Krauss, and French-Swedish Anne Lhuillier won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their research on tools to explore electrons inside atoms and molecules, according to what the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced today, Tuesday (October 3, 2023).
The jury said that the three researchers were awarded the award in recognition of their “experimental methods that generate light pulses at totoseconds (billionths of a billionth of a second) to study electron dynamics in matter.”
Last year, Frenchman Alain Aspect, John Clauser from the United States, and Austrian Anton Zeilinger were honored for their pioneering research on “entangled quantum states.”
This year's awards week opened on Monday with the Nobel Prize in Medicine for Hungarian-born researcher Katalin Karikó and American scientist Drew Weissman for their work on developing vaccines using messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) technology against Covid-19 disease.
The winners of the Nobel Prizes in chemistry, literature and peace will be announced later this week. The Economics Prize is scheduled to be awarded next week.
The actual awards are scheduled to be presented at a ceremony on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death.
This year, the Nobel Foundation increased the prize money for each category by one million Swedish krona to 11 million krona ($1 million). If several winners receive the prize, the money is divided between them. The Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded almost every year since the first award in 1901.
Rescue despite the nose of politics.. A European relief organization wins the “Alternative Nobel”
The culmination of the efforts of rescue organizations
The European organization SOS Mediterranee wins the 2023 Right Livelihood Prize, known as the “Alternative Nobel Prize,” along with a human rights activist from Ghana, and environmental activists from Kenya and Cambodia. The European organization's victory came in honor of its "humanitarian search and rescue operations in the Mediterranean," according to the committee, which sheds light on the efforts of rescue organizations despite the great difficulties they face.
